In a shocking twist of events, the mothers of the two
teenagers flogged by Ghanaian Bishop Daniel Obinim have come forward to
defend the controversial pastor’s actions. In an exclusive interview with Joy News,
the mother of the young girl stated that she is ready to invoke curses
on the people demanding for Obinim’s arrest. The boy’s mother, on the
other hand, revealed that had supported Obinim’s decision to flog her
son in front of his congregation from the get-go. She also added that
she was very excited to watch ‘Angel Obinim’ discipline her son.
“When my husband died and we needed help, no Ghanaian intervened,
not even my family. Angel Obinim took me in and enrolled my son in
school so they should leave the ‘angel’ alone” the boy’s mother stated.
Meanwhile, the girl’s mother had this to say: “Papa should have
beaten her more. Imagine what would have happened if the prophecy had
not come and she drunk the medicine to abort the baby,” she added.
Obinim has since defended his actions and remained unrepentant.
Yesterday, Human Rights Lawyer Francis Xavier Sosu and two others filed
suits against him seeking to have the bishop arrested and prosecuted for
his conduct.
